Suggest The Medication For Drooling

Hi I started drooling for no apparent reason that I can see. It started a few weeks ago. I have not started any new medications, no change to ftoothpaste or mouthwash. When it happens I try to take notice of what I am doing or not doing, but I don't seem to notice any thing of signifiance. Thank you

Hello and welcome.

Excessive salivation is called sialorrhoea.This is seen in poor muscular control.Few of the diseases affecting nose,ear and mouth can also cause such conditions.

Are you wearing dentures?

In such a case it is best to see the dentist and get an clinical evaluation done along with x ray.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
Take care.
